A Texas town has become embroiled in a Confederate flag controversy that led to people “vandalizing” a flag poll by putting up a rainbow flag.

For the past six years, the First National flag of the Confederate States of America flew outside the Mills County Courthouse in Goldthwaite, Texas.

But shortly after County Judge Ed Smith was sworn in in January, the flag came down. On March 2 – Texas Independence Day – he had the Confederate flag taken down and put up the “Come and Take It” flag, replacing a symbol honoring treason in defense of slavery with a symbol honoring Texas’s unique history.
